Description

The goods of packing altogether

Invention field

The present invention relates to the goods of common packing, the said goods of packing altogether are used in unitary package, keeping and showing a plurality of products.More particularly, the present invention relates to have the Heat forming blister package that improves rigidity.

Background of invention

Blister package is one and is used for preformed plastics packed term that it usually is used for keeping and displaying consumer products.Cavity that shaped fibers net (for example plastics) is processed but said two primary clusterings of blister package are served as reasons or pocket and capping (for example, cardboard or plastics).The cavity or the pocket that are shaped hold product, and capping is sealed in product in the cavity.The blister package of other type can be made up of combing packing, wherein product is included between paperboard card and the transparent preform plastics (for example, polyvinylchloride).The customer can easily see through said this product of transparent plastic material inspection.Said plastic casing is around the mould vacuum-formed, so it can hold article closely.Said card can be painted bright-colouredly and is to come design-calculated according to interior items, and preformed plastics use heat and pressure to be secured to said card with the adhesives on the activation blister card (heat seal coated).The intensity of adhesives is enough to make packing to be suspended on the dowel pin, but its weak degree is enough to again make and can easily unpacks.Said card also can have the perforation window so that can get into.A kind of more firm packing is called as clam shell.It usually is used for preventing that the treasure of packing middle-size and small-size high value are stolen such as consumer electronics.It is made up of two preformed plastic sheets or a sheet, and a said sheet folds into himself and locates on the edge of and condenses.They are designed to be difficult to strike with the hand open so that prevent steal usually.Usually need open their (though usually being to get into identical packing) with a scissors or sharp knife.Must be very careful so that open some in these packings safely.

Normally Heat forming of blister package.Being thermoformed into a kind of manufacturing approach, wherein plastic sheet being heated to the flexible formation temperature, is given shape in die for molding, and is trimmed to produce available product.Said (or film is when relating to thinner specification with some material type) is heated to sufficiently high temperature so that it can be stretched in the mould or be stretched on the mould and be cooled to finished form in baking oven.The Heat forming of thin specification is mainly used in makes sanitary cup, container, capping, pallet, bubble-cap, clam shell and other is used for the product of food, medicine and ordinary retail industry.With regard to the application of big volume; Utilize produce greatly that machine heats with the continuous high speed method and shaping plastic sheet and finishing by the parts of said shaping; And the size that depends on said machine and die size and the parts that are formed per hour can be produced thousands of component end items.The Heat forming blister package of Quantity production has limited strength and stiffness usually, because have more the material of rigidity with Heat forming or the thicker relevant manufacturing cost of plastic sheet can increase.

Binding is defined as with single price at present sells two kinds or more kinds of different product (product that for example, has different content thing, weight or geometric configuration) together.Article are bundled make the have an opportunity product that uses them can not buy separately usually of unfamiliar customer.The binding company that also can make has an opportunity on market, to throw in new product.In some cases, the customer is seeking a certain recreation, program, goods etc.For example, if relative article is bundled and to be lower than the sell at competitive of these two kinds of article of independent purchase, then can encourage the customer to buy this binding and packing.Even the customer does not plan to use the extra article in the binding and packing, also always there is certain indistinct possibility, promptly said article possibly be of some use to them in the future.For example, if the customer be weary of certain recreation or accomplished certain recreation, then they can obtain added value through playing another kind of recreation, said another kind of recreation is included in the said binding and is free or provides with few ancillary cost.

In addition, the manufacturer of the consumables also can provide their all products maybe can select they are bundled individually.If the manufacturer selects product is bundled, then can reduce and relevant costs such as packing, marketing, advertising.The cost that reduces too much packing also can produce the product of more environmental protection (for example, compare with two independent packaged products, need less plastics to produce the product of binding).Article are bundled also can reduce cost of goods sold and obtain higher profit then, because will there be more people to be ready to buy said binding.The product of binding also can occupy advantage through following mode in competition: compare with the price of competitor's single article, with lower price two kinds or more kinds of article are provided.Binding also can be through putting together relative article and facilitating to the customer.Through said two kinds or more kinds of product are placed binding together, make the customer there is no need in the shop, to seek those and be in the Individual Items of the single position of himself separately.This has not only saved and has sought the energy of article, and has saved the required time of each single product space of going to.This convenience also can be converted to customer's the experience of being in.Like fruit product is to buy as the packing of binding, then exists bigger possibility to make article keep close to each other at home, thereby is finding them more easily at present or when using in the future.

Although binding has advantage, binding also has some shortcomings really.For example, binding produces the product of bigger and heavier final packaging usually, because need more goods are packaging together.If the structure integrity of packing suffers damage, then content possibly impaired or said packing possibly be easier to break and be stolen.Some product is difficult to binding, because said single product must remain apart, because a kind of product may damage another kind of performance of products.For example, the container of shampoo may split to leak thereby can damage and be placed on the interior power device of same package.Binding has also increased the weight of the product of final packaging, and this possibly influence package integrity properties nocuously.In addition, if final packaging seems frangible or fragility, then the customer may think that also the quality of item of common packing is inferior.For those reasons, the goods of packing usually are arranged in the Heat forming pallet that places box altogether.This methods of exhibiting maybe be such economical and flexibly not as some other packing method, but proved that it is a kind of method of firm common packing articles.

Summary of the invention

In one aspect, characteristic of the present invention is a kind of packing that is used for the goods of common packing in general, and it has inward flange member and outward flange member.First cavity is by inward flange member and outward flange component limit.First cavity has the outside face and first inwall.Second cavity is by inward flange member and outward flange component limit.Second cavity have outside face and with isolated second inwall of first inwall.Second inwall has at least one prodger with primary importance and second place.Said prodger is spaced apart in the primary importance and first inwall, and contacts first inwall in the second place, thereby limits first cavity and the inwardly deflection each other of second cavity court.

Fig. 1 shows the bottom perspective view of the goods 10 of common packing.Institute is more detailed like hereinafter, and the packing 12 of the goods 10 of packing can comprise first cavity 20 and second cavity 30 that is used to keep and show a kind of or more kinds of products altogether.Should be appreciated that more cavity can be used for three kinds of common packings or more kinds of product.First cavity 20 and second cavity 30 can have outside

face

22 and 32 respectively.In certain embodiments, outside

face

22 and 32 can be transparent or semitransparent, makes the customer to see and is arranged on the product in the packing 12.

Cavity

20 and 30 outside deflections can cause the distortion of packing 12, this can cause breaking of packing 12 and pack in the damage of content.In addition, flexible package 12 also can be given and the bum sensation of customer.Label 40 can make

first cavity

20 and 30 interconnection of second cavity to limit the relative to each other outwards deflection of first cavity and second cavity.Label 40 can engage (for example pressure-sensitive adhesion) to outside face 22 and 32.Label 40 can make

first cavity

20 and 30 interconnection of second cavity through surrounding packing 12 (band of for example, tying up around packing 12).Label 40 can have dual-use function, and for example, label 40 can improve the structure integrity of packing 12 and also to the customer important information is provided.

Outside face

22 and 32 can be smooth to improve the joint of label 40 outer surface 22 and 32.Label 40 can minimize the outside deflection of first cavity 20 with respect to second cavity 30 through the outside face 22 of the corresponding cavity 20 that interconnects and the outside face 32 of cavity 30.Label 40 can be transparent at least in part and/or semi-translucent, so the customer can see first product 50 and second product 52.As other a kind of selection, label 40 can be opaque or comprises reflective image and/or hologram image.Label 40 also can comprise figure and out of Memory to inform the information of customer about the product in the goods 10 that are arranged on common packing.

Referring to Fig. 2, show the perspective assembled view of the goods 10 of common packing.Altogether the goods of packing can comprise packing 12, be arranged in the packing 12 two kinds or more kinds of

product

50 and 52 and the cover panel 60 that is fixed to packing 12.Packing 12 first cavity 20 can be yardstick proper to hold first product 50.Second cavity 30 can be yardstick proper to hold second product 52.

Product

50 and 52 can be various types of combings and cosmetic products such as razor cartridge, electric razor, toothbrush, lotion, NMF, white cream, ointment or

deodorizer.Product

50 and 52 also can comprise electronics package such as battery, flash light, mobile phone and MP3 player.In certain embodiments, first product 50 can be different with second product 52.For example, first product 50 can be the bath agent of a container, and second product 52 can be the razor cartridge of a pallet.In other embodiments, first product 50 and second product 52 can be similar, but can have different configurations.For example, first product 50 can be the bath agent of 18oz container, and second product 52 can be the bath agent of 4oz container.First product 50 can have different weight, size, geometric configuration with second product 52, or even can be complete incoherent goods.For example, first product 50 can comprise the product (for example, soap or deodorizer) with liquid or chemical composition, and second product can be engineering goods (for example, razor or toothbrush).Though Fig. 2 only shows first product 50 and second product 52, should be appreciated that the goods 10 of common packing can have two or more products, they are by packing 12 maintenances and displaying.

Packing 12 can have the outward flange member 16 that limits first cavity 20 and second cavity 30.Outward flange member 16 can extend around packing 12 neighboring 17 to provide continuously lets the recline zone of sealing member of cover panel 60.Outward flange member 16 can comprise the inward flange member 19 that at least one opened product 50 and product in 52 minutes.Inward flange member 19 also can provide and let the recline additional areas of sealing member of cover panel 60.Cover panel 60 (for example can be fixed; Heat seal or bonding) with the content that remains fixed in first product 50 and second product 52 in the packing 12 and prevent first product 50 in first cavity 20 (for example to the outward flange member 16 of packing 12 and/or inward flange member 19; Bath agent) leaks in second cavity 30 and possibly damage second product 52 (for example, razor cartridge).The user can through from outward flange member 16 release cover 60 of packing 12 or through cutting cover panel 60 near first product 50 and second product 52.Can in cover panel 60, provide perforation to help getting into packing 12.In certain embodiments; Cover panel 60 can be formed by transparent polymeric material injection moulding or Heat forming, and said material includes but not limited to polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high density polyethylene (HDPE) (HDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) (LDPE), polypropylene (PP) or their any combination.As other a kind of selection, cover panel 60 can comprise cardboard or the polymeric material that has the smooth of heat-sealable coating and/or antitheft coating or be shaped.Cover panel 60 also can comprise the thin polymer film that is sealed to packing 12.

The goods of packing may bring special challenge altogether, because usually need guarantee that the content that is arranged on a product in the cavity can not get in another cavity with the cavity that separates.Heat forming with cavity separately is packaged between assembling and Time of Shipment and is easy to bend and deflection, and this possibly make label 40 deform or unclamp cover panel 60 or label 40 from packing 12.Though label 60 can minimize or prevent relative to each other outwards deflection (as previously mentioned) of

cavity

20 and 30, possibly minimize

cavity

20 and 30 inside deflections with other parts.Referring to Fig. 3; In certain embodiments; First cavity 20 of packing 12 and second cavity 30 can have one or more isolated inwall 25 and inwall 35 (difference), and said inwall separates first product 50 and second product, 52 (see figure 1)s in corresponding first cavity 20 and second cavity 30.Inwall 25 and inwall 35 can spaced apart about 2mm, 3mm, or 4mm about 5mm extremely, 6mm, or 7mm apart from d ₁Distance between inwall 25 and the inwall 35 can from outside face 22 with 32 than large scale diminish into gradually outward flange member 16 places than

small scale.Inwall

25 and 35 can be straight, arc, parallel or nonparallel.

The inwall 25 of first cavity 20 can have at least one prodger 26, and said prodger is laterally projecting towards the inwall 35 of second cavity 30 from the inwall 25 of first cavity 20.The inwall 35 of second cavity 30 can have at least one prodger 36, and said prodger is laterally projecting towards the inwall 25 of first cavity 20 from the inwall 35 of second cavity 30.In certain embodiments,

prodger

26 and 36 can be mirror image and can be outstanding towards each other.Prodger 26 and 36 can provide the packing 12 that has more rigidity through the 12 inside deflections of restriction packing.For example, when when on packing 12, applying power during shipment and the grasping,

prodger

26 and 36 can be used as stop surfaces.First cavity 20 and the second inwardly deflection of cavity 30 when applying power, but

prodger

26 and 36 can contact with each other with restriction can be vitiable further inwardly deflection.

Bigger packing promptly is used for keeping or showing the packing of numerous products (for example, three kinds or more kinds of) or keep and show the packing than heavy articles securely, possibly need more prodger to limit inside deflection.For example, the inwall 35 (difference) of the inwall 25 of first cavity 20 and second cavity 30 can have a plurality of isolated prodgers separately, and said prodger has further reduced to pack 12 distortion (that is, inside deflection).The inwall 35 of second cavity 30 can have second prodger 37, and said second prodger is laterally projecting towards the inwall 25 of first cavity 20.The inwall 25 of first cavity 20 can have second prodger 27, and said second prodger is laterally projecting towards the inwall 35 of second cavity 30.In certain embodiments,

prodger

27 and 37 can be mirror image and can be outstanding towards each other.From the

outstanding prodgers

26 and 27 of wall 25 about 4mm that can be spaced apart from each other, 6mm, or 8mm about 10mm extremely, 15mm, or 20mm.Prodger 26,27,36 and 37 can be arc (for example, dome shaped) or straight.The dome shaped prodger can provide manufacturability and the bigger structure integrity of improvement to prevent packing 12 deflections.Prodger 26,27,36 and 37 can have about 5mm, 7mm, or 10mm is to about 15mm, 20mm, or the width w of 25mm ₁Should be appreciated that the size that depends on packing 12,

prodger

26,27,36 and 37 width can be bigger or less, and (for example, bigger packing 12 possibly require w ₁Bigger).In certain embodiments, prodger 26 and 36 (or spaced apart) the about 0.2mm that can be spaced apart from each other with

relative inwall

25 or 35,0.5mm, 1.0mm, to about 1.5mm, 3.0mm, or 4mm apart from d ₂Prodger 27 and 37 (or spaced apart) the similarly distance that can be spaced apart from each other with relative inwall 25 or 35.Prodger 26 and 36 can have the primary importance and the second place.In primary importance,

prodger

26 and 36 can be spaced apart from each other (or spaced apart) with relative inwall 25 or 35.In the second place,

prodger

27 and 37 can contact with each other (and/or the

right inwall

25 or 35 of exposure phase) with restriction cavity 20 and the inwardly deflection each other of 30 courts.Prodger 27 and 37 also can have the primary importance and the second place, as about

prodger

26 and 36 described.If prodger 36 and 37 and relative prodger 26 and 27 (or relative inwall 35) at interval too far away, the inside deflection that then may not sufficiently limit

cavity

20 and 30 is to prevent distortion and/or to damage and pack 12.

In some cases,

prodger

26 and 36 can contact prodger 27 and 37 (that is, apart from d ₂Be zero), but do not become integral body.For example, after Heat forming, the prodger 26 of

inwall

25 and 27 can be spaced apart with the

prodger

36 and 37 of inwall 35.In case label 40 (see figure 1)s are applied to

outside face

22 and 32, then label 40 can make prodger 26

contact corresponding prodger

36 and 37 with 27 with

inwall

25 and 35 towards tractive each other.Even corresponding 26,27,36,37 prodgers contact, it is spaced apart that inwall 25 and 35 also can keep.

To the demand of the packing of recyclable utilization in continuous increase.Be difficult to produce following packing (for example, blister package) at present, saidly be packaged as (for example, the cardboard) of recyclable utilization and have enough intensity to keep and to show heavier goods.The goods 10 of packing provide a kind of structure that has more rigidity through the inside and/or outside deflection of restriction packing 12 altogether.Can limit the cavity 20 of packing 12 and 30 inside and/or outside deflection, said packing is made (for example, Heat forming) by more weak material (for example, the material of cardboard or other recycling) and is formed.The rigidity of said increase also can allow to pack 12 by forming than thin material piece Heat forming, has therefore saved additional materials and cost.
